I dont feel like I overshare. I am comfortable with what I share in case anyone found me here. I am easy to find online so I dont think too much of it.
I don’t think I overshare about my symptoms. That’s kinda why we’re all here, to talk about symptoms and find support (mainly).
I do feel I’ve overshared about my location, in the past. And I used to post pictures of myself and pictures of places around where I live. I have deleted those posts. I prefer to be anonymous, for the most part. I no longer want my face and identity to be so easily discovered.
I absolutely overshare, but I’m honestly like that in life overall. If you’ve met me, you know my life story. I talk a lot, and since I have had nothing going on for so darn long, there’s not much to talk about but my life. So that’s what people get. I bet it sucks pretty badly for them. Sorry to all the people I’ve bored to tears with my incessant talking or typing.
I feel like i overshare a little, but its important to me to have this outlet. It can feel real lonely having sz, especially when no one around you has any sort of mental illness. Coming on here makes me feel less alone. I havent made any real friends yet, but i see that other people have and it gives me hope.
I have mixed feelings about this idea of oversharing in general…
I feel like it’s important to share everything or else no one can know how to help you - if you need help.
It’s also not healthy to bottle stuff up.
On the other end where people don’t like it? Well, that’s their problem. They don’t need to listen anyway.
It irks me though because of some ideas that have been put into my mind feel like they come from western culture… which is wanting to listen and help others is a symptom of abandonment trauma/codependency.
Idk.
I personally feel like it’s a good thing because really… sometimes it helps to get it all out. We need to have a discussion about some issues/perspectives in order to resolve or change something sometimes.
I feel like too much of our culture emphasizes hyper individualism and its very unhealthy.
There are some things that I know some people in my life are struggling with and so much of what could help them mentally/physically is being able to express what they really think and feel. But because of societal shame/socialization, they don’t say anything and just suffer in silence.
I suffer in silence because I choose to. And because I have this feeling of, “Well if that’s how it is, then I might as well play this game too.”.
My thought is that I don’t have too much to lose. I have one friend, no social media, family is distant and the close ones know everything. Only a “maybe” job, I think? But I’ve learned so much here, and it’s so therapeutic.
I feel like I do and it’s made several people dislike me on here I believe. I’ve been called a liar, I’ve been accused of things I didn’t do, I’ve been made fun of. And it’s all because I’ve said too much.
But I still keep trying cause despite the bad there’s a lot of good here too I’ve made friends and it’s nice to know that people can relate. So I try my best to be open and honest
